Ok so the celica is off the road with some big plans for the future. Meanwhile, i am at school in CT and live in MA. Basically i am looking for a cheap DD that i can make into a proect car in the future... but with about 2k maybe 3k to spend i can't find much..

I'm interested mainly in toyota and nissan..

Toyota
celica
mr2

Nissan
240sx

My sister might sell me her mid 90's subaru impreza 2dr or whatever it is.. for 2k, but not sure..

what i really want is a cheap mr2, but for my budget it would be an old one most likely if i can even find a decent one at all..

i wouldn't mind an older celica, like a fastback etc. could be fun

again i also wouldn't mind an s13 or s14, but s14 is most likely out of the budget range..

what i really need is something that runs reliable and passes inspection, the rest doesn't matter at this point..

any ideas?

EDIT:
i don't want to travel far to get it either.

If cargo space is not an issue, I would say N/A MKII MR2. They are very reliable and you can get nice looking ones for about 3k if you look hard. Plus they are one of the most beautiful cars ever designed.

If cargo space is an issue, I say get a CRX. You can definitely fine those for cheap and they have more cargo space than most 4 doors. I had one when I was in college and it was perfect. There is nothing more reliable than a civic (which a CRX is) but it is more unique and looks better.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
